"You actually knew this was the Foundation Establishment Pill???" Shangluo didn't expect that he could tell his name directly.
"Of course everyone knows the name. What matters is what happens next."
"Isn't the formula of the Foundation Establishment Pill a secret?"
"Yes and no, there are foundation-building pills, but I don't know anyone who has succeeded in building a foundation by relying on pills, at least none of them so far. Just pick up a copy of "Baopuzi" or other pill books, and There will be similar prescriptions on them. It is recorded as Huandan, Jindan and other names, and is used to cast different Taoist bases, but one thing is the same - that is, making elixir is not stewing braised pork. As long as the recipe is correct and the steps are correct, the braised pork can be eaten every time. This is not the case with alchemy. The process of making alchemy cannot be repeated every time. You have to capture your own state of mind every time you make alchemy. What is your current state of mind? ?”
"I want to... make alchemy?" Shangluo reviewed his state of mind and gave a definite answer, "That's right, my current state of mind is to make alchemy."
"This is absolutely impossible! I smelled the smell of cinnamon wood upstairs, so I came up immediately to stop you - you can't make elixirs for the sake of making elixirs, it's too utilitarian. You can only make red pills like this Things have no spiritual energy, only evil energy. This cannot help you build your foundation at all, and will only make your alchemy path go astray... You seem to be getting more and more comfortable, and you actually have something to play for..."
He looked at the sky: "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have come by myself. I should have asked my master to come. But even he is waiting for the opportunity and hasn't started practicing yet."
After saying that, he looked into Shangluo's eyes again: "Please believe me, alchemy is really not about stewing meat or stewing soup. You are too angry right now to refine the golden elixir at all. You didn't even break these medicinal materials with your own hands, You didn’t prepare the appropriate fuel with your own hands. Others prepared these for you, and you didn’t instill your own spiritual energy into it at all.”
"But... I had a divination. It was a divination that I started refining elixirs."
"Huh?" Wen Yuan was stunned for a moment, "This touches on my blind spot of knowledge... What do you mean, you are destined to be here? How did you do the divination?"
"It's just that... I have my own way. I even divined the elixir recipe."
"Can divination reveal something as specific as an elixir?!" Wen Yuan was shocked. "It is said that the secret of heaven only lasts a moment. How can it be possible to divine a detailed elixir? If such a good thing can really happen, Mr. Jiajing The emperor has already ascended."
"But God did tell me." Shangluo pointed to the pot in front of him, his blood was boiling in the big cauldron. Everything has been prepared step by step and is in progress according to what "Tianji" revealed.
"Damn it! I didn't notice it yet!" Wen Yuan's pupils flickered, as if he had seen something terrible:
"What are you using as a flower pool! Why does it smell like blood! Are you using your own essence and blood?"
"Ah...isn't this okay? It's my blood, not anyone else's."
"You're refining the demon pill! How can you use your own blood to refine it! You're going to do great things by refining it like this!"
"But, the divination said it was this formula."
"This..." Wen Yuan didn't know what to do, "Looking at it like this, your elixir is quite right, but it's still a little short of a perfect elixir. But no matter what, there must be God's will and Taoism in it. . If I delay your ability to capture the Taoist opportunity for a moment, then I will have committed a great sin."
When he said this, even Shangluo was a little panicked:
"Wen Yuan...oh no...fellow Daoist Wen! You are knowledgeable, right? So what should I do now? Should I continue to build the foundation?"
"God's will is unpredictable." Wen Yuan shook his head, "I can't say, and I don't know how to say it. But I can help you ask."
"Then should I wait here? Or should I stop?"
"You can't stop refining alchemy once you start it. You have to finish it. Things that are naturally nourished by the earth will condense into new things in the alchemy furnace. Whatever you condense is your luck, because it is your natural destiny to seize the heaven and earth. Something created'. However, judging from your cultivation, it shouldn't be a big problem. Otherwise."
He suggested: "Wait for me for a moment, and I'll call my master and ask him."
"How long will it take to come back? I'm afraid the liquid will have to be boiled off before you come back."
"Keep the heat and don't move. I'll be right back! If my master is not sure, he will ask his master."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to turn the page down - but after glancing down, he retracted his head again.
"Um... no, I'm a little afraid of heights. Shangluo, can I get out of your place?"
"Please." Shangluo stood up and moved out of the way for him.
Wen Yuan thanked him and walked in from the door.
As he walked, his eyes were always fixed on the blood cauldron. He couldn't bear to look directly at it, but he was also afraid of it. He would never dare to open a furnace to refine such a thing.
"Be careful, be careful." He told Shangluo, and then walked out quickly.
...
The cauldron in front of him was still boiling with blood. Small bubbles have emerged from the blood. The smell also changed from the rusty smell at the beginning to the strong smell of blood. The smell of blood mixed with the pungent smell of cinnamon wood made Shangluo's eyes red.
"Hey, hey, Miss Apollonia, is there something wrong? Is the recipe you gave me wrong? You scared the professionals! And why does the stuff in this pot look more and more wrong? This Is it really a foundation-building pill, not some kind of demon pill?"
[Um...] Apollonia fell into silence for a long time, [God’s will said so. I was merely conveying God's providence. 】
"What about bloodletting?"
[Bloodletting is your own choice. But God also anticipated your choice, because you divined this whole thing. What you want is a pill that can help you build your foundation. Even if these in the furnace can't help you directly create Daoji, it will definitely be very useful to you. So, go at your own pace. This is your own destiny, do not let others sway you. 】
She paused and seemed to be scanning her surroundings:
[These are the materials that others collected for you, the wood that was not processed properly, and the large cauldron that was temporarily pulled over. Although these may seem casual, they are probably part of your destiny. I don't believe in rules, I just believe that everyone has his or her own way. So, go ahead and do it. Maybe this is the path you should choose. 】
